English: This is yet another amazing capture from our National Black-footed Ferret Conservation Center.
The center breeds endangered black-footed ferrets and then prepares them for release into the wild. Here, a BFF is seen learning to catch live prey! Over 90% of a black-footed ferret's diet in the wild is prairie dog.
